City fortifications Möckern
The city fortification Möckern is the partially preserved historical city fortification of the city of Möckern in Saxony-Anhalt .
Architecture and history
It goes back to the 11th and 12th centuries and has been preserved as a city wall made of field stones with a system of ditches in front, especially in the east and south of Möckern's old town, in the area of the streets Am Münzberg , Am Park , Grätzer Straße and Kirchstraße . At the southern entrance to the city by the bridge over the Ehle , the stump of the round tower of the Grätzer Tor has been preserved.
